Recent statistics show that 60 percent of small and mid-size businesses experience a cyberattack at least once per year. Ransomware, AI-powered attacks, and phishing attempts continue to rise, increasing the likelihood that businesses in Central Ohio will face a cybersecurity threat. While cyberinsurance cannot prevent an attack, it can help your business recover quickly and reduce financial losses after a breach.
How Does Cyberinsurance Work?
Commercial cyber insurance is available in two main forms: first-party and third-party coverage. First-party coverage protects your business directly. It can help pay ransoms, cover the cost of repairing damaged IT systems, and provide business interruption compensation if an attack forces you to halt operations. It may also pay for forensic audits to determine how the breach occurred and what steps are needed to improve security.
Third-party cyber insurance covers legal expenses arising after a breach. This includes government fines, settlements with affected customers, and judgments against your business. It can also help with attorney fees and other legal costs associated with managing claims.
If you are concerned about reaching your policy limits, you can purchase umbrella cyber insurance. This type of policy provides additional liability protection once your primary cyber insurance coverage is exhausted, helping ensure that a costly cyberattack does not result in significant out-of-pocket expenses.
